Well , the few ive been too....... they have a little "chat" time before for people to socialize, then they all get together and talk about certain issues that the members bring to the table, like problems with their tanks and cool facts they learned about the hobby. Then afterwards if they do htis on that day, a Frag Auction takes place, where coral frags are sold or autioned off at very good prices. Then you pay for them after all of thema re gone, and then you go home, tell me if im wrong guys......lol
